Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, which is a requirement under current ODPS guidelines before any instruction begins. Hancock County residents use the same enrollment process as drivers anywhere in Ohio.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and traffic safety content across interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours, and that break time does not count toward your total. Log out and return whenever you need to.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

After 8 hours of instruction, you take a 40-question state-provided final exam. Score 75% or better and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a PDF. Submit it to the Findlay Deputy Registrar on Trenton Avenue or directly to the Hancock County court that issued your order.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is already running. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on US-224 or I-75 near Findlay could push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Missing that window means a full restart and another reinstatement fee.

Questions Findlay Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course?

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit before another ticket causes a suspension. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for reaching 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a Hancock County court or any Ohio court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit. For Findlay drivers, the Hancock County Clerk of Courts on South Main Street handles court-ordered documentation.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my driving record?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, creating a cushion so the next ticket is less likely to push you over 12 and trigger a suspension. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes it. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. After passing, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Findlay Deputy Registrar on Trenton Avenue to get the credit applied to your record.

What happens if I do not finish the course within 30 days?

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the course entirely from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road and more money out of pocket. The practical move is to start the first session within a day or two of enrolling and keep a consistent pace through the material. Hancock County drivers who need reinstatement should factor in processing time at the Findlay Deputy Registrar when planning their schedule.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

You get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF certificate the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, take that certificate to the Findlay Deputy Registrar located on Trenton Avenue in Findlay, which is the closest BMV deputy registrar serving Hancock County residents. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, such as the Hancock County Municipal Court or Common Pleas Court on South Main Street. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the official documentation the BMV and courts accept to close out your requirement.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from the first lesson, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and must be passed before advancing, so by the time you reach the final exam you will have already worked through the material multiple times. Findlay drivers should treat the lesson quizzes seriously rather than clicking through them.

Does finishing the course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is generate a 2-point credit that the BMV applies to your current total, reducing it by two points. That credit creates a buffer so the next ticket is less likely to push you into suspension territory. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for reinstatement after a 12-point suspension, the certificate satisfies the requirement but does not alter the underlying record. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Findlay Deputy Registrar on Trenton Avenue to get the credit processed.
